From: Andrew Morton Date: Sat, 7 May 2005 00:41:01 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] revert msdos partitioning fix X-Git-Tag: v2.6.12-rc4~17 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b2411dd202e854d1f3be541135af8bb9872ea8b6;p=linux-2.6 [PATCH] revert msdos partitioning fix This change from March 3rd causes the partition parsing code to ignore partitions which have a signature byte of zero. Turns out that more people have such partitions than we expected, and their device numbering is coming up wrong in post-2.6.11 kernels. So revert the change while we think about the problem a bit more.
